Priesthood, Its Spirituality
The Philippine Experience
Keywords:
Priesthood, SpiritualityAbstract
In the Philippines’ cultural milieu and context, the influences of
the ordained ministers shaped and fashioned the church and its
impact on society. Filipino priests propel the local church into a
new evangelizing thrust and direction. They are always challenged
to be attuned to the ebb and flow of the life and situation of the
people and to be responsive to the signs of the times. They are in
one way or another part of the structures and/or elements that
helped make or break the culture, history and destiny of the people
seeking and searching for their definitive destiny and future.
